The Return of Tarzan is Edgar Rice Burroughs' third novel in the series starring the man raised by apes. First serialized in 1914 in All-Story Cavalier magazine, it was published as a novel in 1916. After marrying Jane at the end of The Return of Tarzan, and claiming his birthright as Lord of Greystoke, our former ape-man finds his infant son has been kidnapped in London by old enemies. Following an anonymous call, Tarzan falls into his enemies' trap and finds himself once more exiled in the wild, this time with the threat hanging over him that his young son will be raised by cannibals.
themulhern: Somewhat unorthodox family is sundered by bad guys and in multiple concurrent narratives re-assembles itself, meanwhile finding new allies and new enemies. The chief female character emerges as a character with agency.

The third Tarzan novel, originally published as a serial in 1914, sees our hero brought back to the African jungle from his London home when his wife, Jane, and their son, Jack are kidnapped by his familiar Russian enemies. A truly impressive number of twists, double twists, mistaken identities, racial stereotypes, and use of the word "thews" (I had to look it up!) ensues. Jane refreshingly gets chapters all to herself and manages to do a great job taking care of herself. Tarzan builds himself a pack of giant apes and a ruthlessly adorable panther to assist in his quest of rescuing Jane and Jack and getting them all back to civilization. If you can set aside the racism endemic to the early twentieth century adventure novel (especially ones set in Africa) this is a page turner with just the kind of florid style and cliffhangers you'd expect from Burroughs.

What a lot of twists, turns, and reversals of fortune! Jane gets far more agency than ever before; for a well-brought up Baltimore girl, she is awfully handy with a pistol, rifle, and paddle. It is charming how literary the thrillers of yore were. Burroughs could really turn a phrase.
As always, improbable coincidences, mostly of the spatial sort, occur. The west coast of Africa is really a bit larger than his novels would make it appear. ( )
